TOGAF-speak for these ideas
Avancier

► Information Consumer Applications

■ deliver content to the user of the system,
and provide services to request access to
information in the system on the user’s
behalf
► Brokering Applications
■ manage the requests from any number of
clients to and across any number of
Information Provider Applications
► Information Provider Applications
■ provide responses to client requests and
rudimentary access to data managed by a
particular server

► The overall set creates an environment

that provides a rich set of end-user
services for transparently accessing
heterogeneous systems, databases,
and file systems.
